Why Empress 1908 Gin?

Empress Gin has the most beautiful, all-natural indigo hue that is derived from butterfly pea flower and other botanicals: juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark. It's what gives this blue cocktail its signature light blue hue.

Substitutions and Variations

  • TONIC WATER: can't find Elderflower Tonic? Use regular tonic water, ginger ale, or club soda
  • VEGAN: substitute 2 tablespoons of Aquafaba (chickpea brine) for each egg white
  • GARNISHES: we love the look and flavor of a simple lemon twist, but you can also use candied ginger or edible flowers.

Top tip

Use your muscles: be sure to shake the cocktail vigorously for at least one minute to achieve the beautiful frothy top.

FAQ

What kind of glasses should I use?

We love coupe glasses to create a fancy, festive look. You can also use martini glasses, wine glasses or champagne glasses.

Can I use clear colored gin?

Yes! It will taste similarly, but your drink will not be blue. The Pea Flower Indigo gin is what creates the beautiful light blue hue.

Can I make a mocktail version?

Due to the complicated flavor profile of this drink, there is no mocktail version. We recommend trying our Lavender Lemonade instead.
